One key fact: “Guam, with a population of only about 160,000, has a per-capita rate of abuse claims more than five times higher than in Boston.” When it comes to the Church, not only does power corrupt but it leads to an epidemic of child abuse.

One key error: “Sex abuse scandals have roiled archdioceses throughout North America for the last two decades.” In fact, these scandals have been going on for nearly twice as long. There seems to be a concerted effort to minimize the duration of this ongoing crime. In fact, clerical child abuse was a problem long before the first North American scandal broke in Louisiana.
